Description: 2-AMINOINDANS AS SELECTIVE DOPAMINE D3 LIGANDS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The subject invention is directed toward 2-aminoindan analogs that selectively bind to the dopamine D3 receptor in vitro. The dopamine D3 receptor was recently cloned by Sokoloff et al.. (Nature, 347, 146 (1990)). It was hypothesized that this receptor subtype is of importance for the action of anti-psychotics. Interestingly, this receptor shows a high abundance in brain regions associated with emotional and cognitive functions. Compounds with this profile may be useful in treating CNS disorders, e.g. schizophrenia, mania, depression, geriatric disorders, drug abuse and addiction, Parkinson's disease, anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, circadian rhythm disorders and dementia.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The subject invention is directed toward compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of Formula I as depicted above in either racemic or pure enantiomer forms. R1 and R2 are independently chosen as listed above; except that only one of R1 and R2 can be hydrogen, OCH3 or OH in any such compound to avoid those compounds disclosed in the literature where similar R1 and R2 groups are chosen from hydrogen, OCH3 and OH. R3 and R4 are independently chosen as listed above except that only one of R3 and R4 can be hydrogen in any such compound to thereby eliminate the possibility of a primary amine being formed. Secondary and tertiary amines are the preferred structure. R3 and R4 can also independently be C1-C8 alkyl except where R1 or R2 are hydrogen, OCH3 or OH in order to avoid similar compounds disclosed in the literature (Hacksell, Cannon). In a second variation of Formula I, R3 and R4 are taken together to form a -(CR5R5)n- ring structure bonded to said nitrogen atom where n is 4-8; thus R1 and R2 can be independently chosen from hydrogen, OCH3, OH, OSO2CF3, OSO2CH3, SOR5, CO2R5, CONH2, CONR5R6, COR5, CF3, CN, SR5, SO2NH2, SO2NR5R6, SO2R5, halogen (Br, C1, F), R6, or R1 and R2 together form -O(CH2)mO- (where m is 1-2). "Alkyl" are one to eight carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl and isomeric forms thereof. "Aryl" are six to twelve carbon atoms such as phenyl, a-naphthyl, ss-naphthyl, m methylphenyl, p-trifluoromethylphenyl and the like. The aryl groups can also be substituted with one to three hydroxy, fluoro, chloro, or bromo groups. "Cycloalkyl" are three to eight carbon atoms such as cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include salts of both inorganic and organic acids. The preferred pharmaceutically acceptable salts include salts of the following acids: methanesulfonic, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric, nitric, benzoic, citric, tartaric, fumaric or maleic. The compounds of Formula I are active orally or parenterally. Orally the Formula I compounds can be given in solid dosage forms such as tablets or capsules, or can be given in liquid dosage forms such as elixirs, syrups or suspensions as is known to those skilled in the art. It is preferred that the Formula I compounds be given in solid dosage form and that it be a tablet. Typically, the compounds of Formula I can be given in the amount of about 0.25 mg to about 100 mg/person, one to three times a day. Preferably, about 10 to about 50 mg/day in divided doses. The exact dosage and frequency of administration depends on the particular compound of Formula I used, the particular condition being treated, the severity of the condition being treated, the age, weight, general physical condition of the particular patient, other medication the individual may be taking as is well known to those skilled in the art and can be more accurately determined by measuring the blood level or concentration of the active compound in the patient's blood and/or the patient's response to the particular condition being treated. Thus, the subject compounds, along with a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier, diluent or buffer, can be administrated in a therapeutic or pharmacological amount effective to alleviate the central nervous system disorder with respect to the physiological condition diagnosed. The compounds can be administered intravenously, intramuscularly, topically, transdermally such as by skin patches, buccally or orally to man or other vertebrates. The compositions of the present invention can be presented for administration to humans and other vertebrates in unit dosage forms, such as tablets, capsules, pills, powders, granules, sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions, oral solutions or suspensions, oil in water and water in oil emulsions containing suitable quantities of the compound, suppositories and in fluid suspensions or solutions. For oral administration, either solid or fluid unit dosage forms can be prepared. For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the compound can be mixed with conventional ingredients such as talc, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate, magnesium aluminum silicate, calcium sulfate, starch, lactose, acacia, methylcellulose, and functionally similar pharmaceutical diluent or carrier materials. Capsules are prepared by mixing the compound with an inert pharmaceutical diluent and filling the mixture into a hard gelatin capsule of appropriate size. Soft gelatin capsules are prepared by machine encapsulation of a slurry of the compound with an acceptable vegetable oil, light liquid petrolatum or other inert oil. Fluid unit dosage forms for oral administration such as syrups, elixirs, and suspensions can be prepared. The forms can be dissolved in an aqueous vehicle together with sugar, aromatic flavoring agents and preservatives to form a syrup. Suspensions can be prepared with an aqueous vehicle with the aid of a suspending agent such as acacia, tragacanth, methylcellulose and the like. For parenteral administration, fluid unit dosage forms can be prepared utilizing the compound and a sterile vehicle. In preparing solutions, the compound can be dissolved in water for injection and filter sterilized before filling into a suitable vial or ampoule and sealing. Adjuvants such as a local anesthetic, preservative and buffering agents can be dissolved in the vehicle. The composition can be frozen after filling into a vial and the water removed under vacuum. The lyophilized powder can then be sealed in the vial and reconstituted prior to use. Chemical Svnthesis: Chart A. Synthesis of 2-aminotetralin derivatives Steps 1 and 2. Conversion of the l-indanone to the oxime (Am1) followed by hydrogenation to the primary amine (A-2) can be performed by methods known in the art. Step 3. The primary amine is reductively aminated to yield di-substitution (Preparation 7) or coupled with acid to form the amide (Preparation 16). This amide can be in turn reduced, with eg. LAH . If appropriate, another acylation (Preparation 13) or akylation can take place. The primary amine could also be alkylated with an alkylhalide (preferably, alkylbromide or chloride) under basic conditions to yield N-alkyl or N-azacyclic derivatives. Step 4. If one or more substituents on the aromatic ring is a methoxygroup, it may be converted to the corresponding phenol (A-4) using 48% HBr or lithium-diphenyl phosphine in THF. Step 5. Conversion of the phenols to the triflates may be accomplished using methods know in the art such as triflic anhydride in base (Examples 2,3) or N-phenyltriflurormethanesulfonimide (Example 36). Step 6. A di-triflate derivative (A-5, Example 3) can be converted to the dicarbomethoxy derivative via palladium chemistry (A-6, Example 9, J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1987, 904). In addition, mono-carbomethoxy mono-hydroxy derivative is obtained in this transformation (A-6, Example 10). This di-triflate can also be converted to mono-hydroxy, mono-triflate by heating with triethylamine in DMF/MeOH (A-6, Example 7). This compound in turn can be converted by acetylation (Ac2O/pyridine) to mono-acetoxy, mono-triflate (A-6, Example 8) and by alkylation (NaH/DMF, MeI) to mono-methoxy, mono-triflate (A-6, Example 56), via the chemistry known in the art. Following the palladium chemistry described above, the mono-acetoxy, mono-triflate (A-6, Example 8) can be converted to mono-acetoxy, monocarbomethoxy derivative (A-6, Example 54). Usng the simlar chemistry, the mono-methoxy, mono-triflate (A-6, Example 56) can be converted to mono-carbomethoxy, mono-methoxy derivative (A-6, Example 57) and mono-ethynyl, mono-methoxy derivative (A-6, Example 63), as well as to mono-acetyl, mono-methoxy derivative (A-6, Example 61) via the procedure of Example 52. The mono-carbomethoxy, mono-methoxy derivative can be converted to the fromyl derivative by DIBAL-H at low temperaure (A-6, Example 58), or to hydroxymethyl derivative (A-6, Example 59) by LAH, both methods knon in the art. The monocarbomethoxy, mono-hydroxy derivative (A-6, Example 10) is converted to the monocarbomethoxy mono-triflate derivative (Example 55), following the procedure of preparing ditriflate (Example 3), or basic hydrolysis (NaOH/MeOH-H2O) to mono-carboxy, mono-methoxy derivative (A-6, Example 60). The mono-carbomethoxy, mono-methoxy derivative (A-6, Example 57) can be converted to mono-carboxamido, mono-methoxy derivative (A-6, Example 62) via the procedure of Example 35. This in turn converted to mono-cyano, mono-methoxy derivative via the procedure of Example 53. The di-carbomethoxy derivative (A-6, Example 9) is converted to di-hydroxymethyl derivative (A-6, Example 64) via LAH reduction known in the art and in turn this is converted to di-methoxymethyl derivative (A-6, example 66) via the procedure of Example 56. Chart B: Synthesis of the Methylene- and Ethylene -Dioxy Analogs The di-ol (Example A4 from Chart A) is alkylated using bromomethane or dibromoethane in DMF and a base such as K2CO3. Chart C. Step 1. An amide (A-3) intermediate (such as Preparation 13) can be converted to the arylbromide (or aryliodide) (C-l) using procedure such as Br2/HOAc which is known in the art (Preparation 14 or 15). Step 2. Reduction of the arylbromide-amide (C-l) using the reducing agent such as lithium lauminum hydride affords the arylbromide-amine (C-2, Preparation 17. Step 3. The arylbromide (C-2) is converted to arylfriflurormethyl derivative (C-2) via heating in a mixture of sodium trifluoroacetate, copper (I) iodide, and N-methylpyridone (Example 48, Chem Lett 1981,1719). Or the arylbromide (C-2) is lithiated, reacted with sulfur dioxide, followed by sulfuryl chloride treatment and ammonia gas to yield arylsulfonamide (Example 49, Organomet. Chem. Rev. Sect. A 1970, 5, 281). The trifluoromethansulfonyloxy dervative (Example 2) can be converted via palladium chemistry to thiophene derivative (C-2, Example 50, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1987, 109, 5478; Synthesis 1980, 727), ethynyl derivative (C-2, Example 51, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1987, 109, 5478), oracetyl derivative (C-2, Example 52, J. Org Chem. 1990, 55, 3654). The carboxamido derivative (Example 35) also can be converted to the cyano derivative (C-2, Example 53, J. Med. Chem.196811, 322) using POCl3/DMF, a method known in the art. Chart D. Step 1. The diamine (from, PCT/US94/02800) can be converted to compounds with a variety of substituents on the aromatic ring (D-l) eg. Examples 20. 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29, and 30. Step 2. The N-benzyl group can be removed using hydrogenolysis conditions known in the art (see Examples 24) to yield the secondary amines (D-2) Step 3. The secondary amines can be further converted to the tertiary amine via the condtions described in Step 3, Chart A (as in Example 26). Chart E: Synthesis of l-indanones Step 1: Conversion of a substituted benzaldehyde to the cinnamic acid derivative (E- 1) can be achieved by methods known in the art. Step 2: The cinnamic acid can be reduced using hydrogenation conditions to yield the saturated acid (E-2). Step 3: The acid is cyclized using Friedel Crafts acylation by one of the various methods known in the art (heating in polyphosphoric acid, or conversion to the acyl chloride followed by cyclization using a Lewis acid such as All3) to yield the substituted l-indanones (E-3).
